Food #2: Eggs
Eggs are a great low calorie, high filling food. In addition, there are numerous ways to incorporate eggs into one’s diet. They can be boiled, scrambled, eaten in a salad, or added to a sandwich.
Eggs are very full of protein, which may explain why they have a high satiety index. One large egg has 6 grams of protein. With these 6 grams of protein, the egg includes all 9 essential amino acids that are essential in everyday life functions. One study showed that eating eggs instead of a bagel for breakfast decreased caloric intake for the next 36 hours.
